London, England
2006 0:11:30:0 hours morning time
On a bright sunny day in London, the famous big Ben clock tower stands tall. London is the capitol of the United Kingdom. London has been a major settlement for two millennia, its history going back to its founding by the Romans, London's ancient core, the City of London, largely retains its 1.12-square-mile (2.9 km2) medieval boundaries. London is a leading global city, with strengths in the arts, commerce, education, entertainment, fashion, finance, healthcare, media, professional services, research and development, tourism, and transport all contributing to its prominence. It is one of the world's leading financial centers.
Gordon Freeman has only been in this dimension an hour or so in which he arrived in London, as London doesn't exist anymore in his dimension due to the Combine destroying this city during the 7th hour war, much like they did with New York City. So it his first time being here, at first everything appeared to be normal as it is a typical day in London. His suit did pick up portal technology as he pinpointed the location to Cardiff Wales, odd why would it be coming from there.
Once he walked further into the city he discovered people and ghosts at the same time, just wandering around. Why would ghosts actually be seen during the day and he needed answers. His suit picked up television broadcasts that it is a world-wide phenomenon. Gordon doesn't believe in ghosts and pondered on what this could be as he kept on walking, using his ninja skills to be aware of one's surroundings he felt like he is being followed and everyone looked normal at the moment.
Freeman's log
As I go forth on my Odyssey to other dimensions I find myself in London England as I have seen pictures of the place but I never been here before. I've seen ghosts and would you believe it, I sure wouldn't as people seem to be ok with it. Also since arriving in this dimension I have a strange feeling I have been followed. I will learn more and ask around
End log.
Gordon then walked across the street or at least he was about to as several black unmarked vehicles came in opposite directions and pouring out of these black unmarked vehicles are armed men brandishing weapons took up positions and surrounded Gordon Freeman. Also hovering overhead are two black helicopters. The One-Free-Man wondered what they want and who are they working for. Citizens were escorted out of the area.
"You there," said the leader "Come with us at once for questioning,"
"I'm just passing through," said Gordon "So I haven't broken any laws"
"We have orders to take you in," said the leader
"And if I refuse," said Gordon
"Then lethal force will be used to take you in," said the leader
Gordon narrowed his eyes from his glasses "How about I tell you all to fuck off, before any of you get hurt."
"Open fire," said the leader
Gordon muttered shields under his breath as all of them opened fired upon the one-free-man with all the weapons they have and even the black helicopters fired their missiles at him. The impact of the missiles caused small explosions and dust along with debris to rise up in the air, talk about overkill.
"Hold you fire," said the leader
Gordon walked out of the smoke holding his gravity gun in hand and activated it to hover one of those black vans in the air and throw it at the black helicopter as both the land vehicle and the air vehicle collided between one another causing a small explosion in mid-air in which these armed people are caught by surprise. Gordon dashed forward and landed a punch to the face of one of them and then throws them to the other two. These people are not the combine, at all.
The other armed people opened fired upon Gordon as their weapons have no effect upon his shields as their bullets seem to be bouncing off of him in mid-air. He withdraws his gravity gun and brings for his Combine laser rifle as he opened fired upon several more, despite them being armored these men are dropping like flies and the other helicopter fired it's missiles again as Gordon leaped out of the way in which the missiles accidentally killed three of them.
Gordon then used his gravity gun upon a man hole cover and launched it at the helicopter as the pilot tried to move it out of the way, however the man hole cover strikes the rotor blades as the helicopter spirals out of control and then crashing into the river Themes, Gordon then ran forward and took down several more of them using a combination of kung-fu and ninja skills until only the leader of this group remains.
Gordon growls as he grabs the man by the collar and slams him against the wall, the leader of these armed men took out a pistol and fired at Gordon to get a lucky shot however it didn't work and Gordon kicked the gun out of the way. Then putting his boot on the throat of the man, he noticed the man has an ear piece communication and took it as he carefully listened for anyone on the other line.
"Report, agent report," said the female voice on the other line
"The people you sent after me are dead or need of medical treatment," said Gordon
"Who the bloody hell is this," said the female voice
"Never mind who this is," said Gordon "Listen to me and listen to me right now, don't send anymore of your people or they'll end up the same way. If you do, I will be at your doorstep to say hello." He paused "Oh by the way if you are in any way allies of the Combine, you'll find out the hard way people call me the One-fucking-Free-man."
"Understand this," said the female voice "I represent the best interests of-"
Gordon just stomped on the ear piece communicator with his foot and then grabbed the leader of these armed men, he tossed him aside.
"Get out of here now," said Gordon
The leader of these armed men got into one of the vehicles and drove away. Gordon thought Assholes and then walked away to find out more of the situation.

"Report, agent report," said the female voice on the other line
"The people you sent after me are dead or need of medical treatment," said Gordon
"Who the bloody hell is this," said the female voice
"Never mind who this is," said Gordon "Listen to me and listen to me right now, don't send anymore of your people or they'll end up the same way. If you do, I will be at your doorstep to say hello." He paused "Oh by the way if you are in any way allies of the Combine, you'll find out the hard way people call me the One-fucking-Free-man."
"Understand this," said the female voice "I represent the best interests of-"static is heard in the background.
Yvonne Hartman the director of Torchwood is not having a very good day in fact not a very good week. She had agents to apprehend a man who appeared out of a portal only to find them selves dead and with a warning. She does not know who the Combine are, and the man called himself the One-Free-Man.
Torchwoods main enemy is the time lord called Doctor and wondered if he is behind the ghost problems, she could send more agent to get this one-free-man, but she decided to against it for now and wondered where he came from, if he another time lord. She did not know, at least not yet.
Jackie Tyler's flat
Rose Tyler and the Doctor are in her mothers flat for a visit and they discover there are ghosts walking among people and of course after a certain figure shows up at the window they cannot identify. The Doctor dismisses the possibility that these are ghosts and conducts an experiment with the help of the TARDIS. He attempts to trap a ghost and determines that they are not ghosts but are impressions of something forcing its way into this universe.
The TARDIS
For about an hour or so, Gordon has been tracking some sort of energy signature that involves time and then he came upon a blue police call box. How bizarre is that and he just seen the door shut, why would something be in there.
Perhaps people or someone else, further scans show some kind of pocket dimension within this dimension, he has encountered something like this before with the scientist Washu. Gordon slowly walks up to the double doors of this police call box and knocked on it a few times to get someone's attention and then the doors opened as a blonde girl appeared.
"I'm sorry, but this call box is occupied," said Rose
"I don't think it is," said Gordon "As I have detected a pocket dimension with the call box, along omicron partials to suggest this object is some form of traveling device."
"That would be completely ridiculous," giggled Rose "As this is a police call box,"
"Right," said Gordon "And I am really Winston Churchill,"
"Rose," called out a voice from the inside "Who are you talking too?"
"Just some oddball who thinks we have some kind of pocket dimension that uses….um omicron partials," said Rose
"Ugh….I am almost done here," said the voice from inside "I will talk to him, probably just some drunken nut,"
Rose came out of the police call box and stepping out of the box is a man in a business suit, Gordon stares at him for a moment and the man seems to be holding some sort of object in hand like a screw driver.
"Is there something going on between you two," said Gordon "Seems like some erotic action going on in there,"
"What?" both of them coursed and looked at each other at the same time
"Hah, you two are so blushing," said Gordon "Can you tell me about these ghosts,"
The science is way beyond your understanding sir," said the man "Who are you?"
"Gordon Freeman," said Gordon
"I'm the doctor," said the doctor
"Of what," asked Gordon
"Just the doctor," said doctor
"Well aren't we all," said Gordon
Gordon and the Doctor go on to talk about science, as Rose looked a little bored until she tapped the Doctor's shoulder as the doctor himself a time lord just sighed a bit in talking too much again.
"The experiment had just shown a location of where-"the doctor is interrupted by Gordon
"A location in Cardiff," said Gordon "According to my dimensional scanners, there is a breach there between space and time," he shows them a hologram of the building.
"Interesting suit you have," said the doctor "Must be a story behind it,"
"A long one yes," said Gordon "Shall we go on a trip,"
"Ok sure," said Doctor "We'll take the TARDIS,"
"I have my own method of travel," said Gordon
He used his suits teleportation program to teleport himself to the location as the Doctor and Rose looked on.
"Heh, molecular teleportation," said Doctor "That wasn't suppose to be invented for another 200 years,"
The doctor and Rose Tyler head inside the TARDIS to go to that location as well.
The Torchwood facility
The Doctor introduces himself and tells everyone that Jackie is Rose, his companion. They are taken by soldiers to see Torchwood's current director Yvonne Hartman, while the TARDIS is impounded with Rose inside. Ms. Hartman shows the Doctor the source of the ghost energy, an invisible breach in the universe through which a mysterious spherical object has arrived. The Doctor inspects the sphere, declaring it to be a "Void ship"—which, according to him, is impossible.
Gordon had used a cloaking device program that was installed awhile go upon his suit to get inside and watched, until he heard the voice of the same woman and the doctor mention about this void ship, he de cloaked in front of both of them and inspected it himself considering how impressive it looks and this is not combine technology, but wondered who it belongs to.
"Things do exist outside of space and time," said Gordon "I've been in a void myself for a decade,"
"That's impossible," said Doctor "No living being can survive in the void, it is outside of time, space and thought,"
"I'm living proof it can happen," said Gordon "This ship should be destroyed as these idiots don't know what they are doing,"
"We are doing this for the best interests of Torchwood," said Hartman
"You mean like sending people to attack me," said Gordon "You better have a better explanation bitch, besides this best interests crap,"
"Look Mister," said Hartman "It is people like the time lord is why we exist,"
"And it is a fanatic like you," said Gordon "That causes problems like this, so basically it's all your fault,"
Meanwhile, Rose slips out of the TARDIS and uses a lab coat she found to masquerade as an employee to explore Torchwood. She gains access to the sphere chamber with the Doctor's psychic paper, but is detained by a Dr. Singh. He discovers that Rose is an imposter and informs Ms. Hartman of her presence. Dr. Singh then asks his colleague Samuel, whom Rose recognizes as Mickey Smith, to seal the doors. Ms. Hartman questions the Doctor, who admits that the woman in the sphere chamber is really Rose and that the woman with him in her office is Rose's mum Jackie.
Big Ben clock tower
In the shadows of Big Ben cloak tower two beings hover there in which these are two combine advisors and in secret they have been building citadel in the disguise of Big Ben. They have been keeping watch on a place known as Torchwood and also detect the void ship as it could be a useful piece of technology in their conquest of this dimension as they have infiltrated everywhere and their spy's report Gordon Freeman and the Time Lord are there.
"Should we attack now," said one advisor
"No, not yet," said another one "Let's see how this plays out as this ghost situation has given humanity a distraction,"
Back at Torchwood
In the command centre, the three employees under manipulation initiate an unscheduled ghost shift and forcibly open the breach. The extended shift causes millions of ghosts to appear across the globe before they materialize into their true form, the Cybermen. At the same time the Cybermen arrive the Void ship suddenly activates and begins to open. The Cybermen take control of Torchwood and order the complete surrender of humanity for conversion.
The Doctor, puzzled at how the Cybermen could have created an advanced piece of technology like the Void ship, asks the Cyber Leader how they were able to build it. The Cyber Leader responds that the Cybermen are similarly oblivious to the origins of the sphere and that they merely followed its course through the breach. Gordon fired his gravity gun at the cyber leader as he crashes into several objects
"How about in a pigs eye," said Gordon
"Then you will die," said the cyber leader
"Are you always this impulsive," said doctor
"Exterminate! Exterminate!" Echoed in the background
"Uh-oh," said the doctor
Back at Big Ben
The combine advisors watch as millions of these ghosts turn into cybernetic beings, it would appear someone is about to beat them to the punch in conquering this dimension. Not if they have anything to say about it.
"Time for us to enter this and eliminate all opposition," said the advisor
"Understood," said the other one
Outside Big Ben
A beam of light streaks out of the tip of Big Ben as a swirling mass of energy forms into a energy tornado that rips through London until it stabilizes and Combine forces started to pour out in London and all over the world.
Inside Torchwood
Gordon Freeman's dimensional scanner is alerting him to in an indication of portal activation, in London and also all over the world as the Combine has arrived and begins their invasion. The Doctor wondered what is going on now.
"Uh-oh," muttered Gordon
